Stubbs The Zombie in Rebel Without A Pulse to use its full title, is a port of the 2005 original XBox / PC game from the now-defunct Wideload Games and Aspyr Media, the latter handling the port to modern consoles. We played it sparingly at the time, though we’re not […]

Chess Knights: Viking Lands is the latest chess-adjacent puzzle game from Minimol Games. We reviewed their previous game, Knight’s Retreat, earlier in the year and while we liked the idea, we weren’t a big fan of the execution or the general puzzle design. So hopefully Chess Knights can do a better […]

There always seems to be a vocal audience clamouring for retro platformers. Whether it’s a ‘make Sonic great again’ sentiment or people desperate for another Donkey Kong Country, the voices have always been there. Indie studios are all too keenly aware and the latest to try and bring some 90’s […]

Ape Tribe Games released Disjunction a few weeks back via publisher Sold Out. It’s set in a dystopian nightmare version of New York in the near future. Graphically we’re reminded of Beneath A Steel Sky, which is no bad thing. It’s cyberpunk we guess, but we’re wary of pigeonholing it, […]

Although it’s not a deck builder, my experience with Slay the Spire and the recently reviewed Neoverse has helped me no end with Star Renegades which is new to the PS4. The combat has a lot in common with that style of game and it’s another Rogue-lite. It brings plenty […]

Explosionade DX is an enhanced version of Mommy’s Best Games’ 2015 run and gunner and is best described as a mix of the platforming and shooting action of games like Contra and Metal Slug but with the old-school coin-op format and problem solving of such single screen classics as Bubble Bobble, Snow Bros. and Rodland. […]

The run and gun genre has been about for so long that when a game comes along that tries to bring some originality to it I take notice. The best of the genre have really tight controls and make you feel like a badass despite actually being really fragile. Bite […]

I really, really liked Slay the Spire. I’m not one for card games and I’ve only semi-recently come around to Rogue-likes but the challenge offered combined with the learning curve and depth really struck a chord. Neoverse is very similar in concept but has some nifty ideas of its own […]

Collapsed is a post-apocalyptic 2D rogue-lite from Glaive Games. It has you playing as a nameless protagonist (from a choice of four classes) and sees you running and gunning your way through randomly generated levels, facing off against various enemies and bosses and generally dying a lot. The thing with rogue-lites/likes […]

As my last review involved dreaming, I might as well keep this existential train rolling. Coming from FFT Games, Into A Dream is a narratively-driven puzzle-platformer about a man’s depression. With some obvious cues from games like Limbo, this game manages to keep the gameplay fairly light whilst delivering some […]

The indies appear to have gone into overdrive this year and I certainly feel relieved when a smaller game comes to my attention. Dreaming Sarah is one such game that feels almost like a short experience rather than a traditional game. A puzzle-platformer from Asteristic Game Studios, this fairly slim […]

While Bishoujo Battle Cyber Panic can’t really be accused of being original, this single screen arcade dodge ’em up was a game that we were keen to review. Sure, it’s another cheap and cheerful title from Eastasiasoft and is heavily anime flavoured (sorry, I just don’t get it) but it […]
